Germany called Sunday for asylum seekers who entered the European Union via Greece to be forced to return there, while also urging Athens to send more migrants back to Turkey, AFP said.

In an interview with a Greek daily, German interior minister Thomas de Maiziere said he wants to reinstate EU rules which oblige asylum seekers to be sent back to Greece as the first EU country they reached.

“I would like the Dublin convention to be applied again… we will take up discussions on this in a meeting with (EU) interior ministers” later in October, he told the Greek daily Kathimerini.

The Dublin accord gives responsibility for asylum seekers’ application to the first country they reach — which put Greece on the frontline of more than a million migrants who arrived in the EU last year.

The accord also says asylum seekers should be sent back to the first country they arrived in if they subsequently reach another EU state before their case is examined. A huge proportion of the migrants ended up in Germany.

But this clause was suspended for Greece in 2011 after the country lost an EU legal complaint which condemned the mistreatment of migrants seeking international protection.

“Since then, the EU has provided substantial support, not only financially,” to Greece to improve its asylum seeker procedures, the German minister said.

– ‘Greece must expel more’ –

In an interview on German television Sunday evening, De Maiziere also criticised Athens for failing to fully implement an EU agreement with Turkey to return migrants there.

The EU reached a deal with Turkey in March to stop the influx to the Greek islands in return for financial aid and eased visa conditions for its citizens. But the deal has looked shaky in the wake of a coup attempt in Turkey in July.

“Greece must carry out more expulsions,” he told the ARD television station.

De Maiziere had already in August highlighted the need to reinstate the Dublin rules, provoking an outcry from Athens.

Greece stressed it was already coping with over 60,000 refugees and migrants blocked on its territory after countries further north on the so-called Balkan route closed their borders to the massive influx, notably fleeing the Syrian conflict.

De Maiziere said he was conscious of the “strong reactions” of Greeks, as well as the huge number of migrants being dealt with by Greece as an EU frontline state.

But “that doesn’t annul the need” to reinstate the Dublin rules, he said, stressing that “criticism of the convention not being applied keeps increasing in Germany.”

The German minister, who has just revised the number of asylum seekers who arrived in Germany last year to 890,000 — down from a previous estimate of 1.1 million — reiterated Berlin’s commitment to taking its share of refugees who arrived in Greece and Italy in 2015 and the start of 2016.

“Germany is ready to welcome up to 500 people per month” from the two countries, he said.

Ok, well so why should we be surprised? I mean seriously… You freely open up your country’s borders to all these refugees without limits – all in the name of humanity – and then they come flooding in so much so that you cannot handle them. On top of that, they’re rowdy, disgusting, disrespectful, violent, verbally abusive, militant and just… terribly uncivilised. Let’s not forget that it’s a fact that sexual violence in Germany has skyrocketed since Merkel allowed more than one million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East into the country.

These are the appalling consequences of such a policy.

When I first heard of Merkel’s ‘open doors’ policy, I predicted right then and there that Germany would suffer from the subsequent consequences of this failed policy, manifested in a severe refugee crisis, sometime down the track. And sure enough, I have been proven right.

And now the German government has put its foot down and is now returning these refugees to where they came from. As if sending them back will solve this incredible mess…

Too bad this was merely a ‘badly though out, uncalculated decision’ on Merkel’s part. Look at the mess that she’s caused. She has destroyed her own country and contributed to the Islamisation and greater demise of Europe. The sad truth of the matter is that it’s too late… way too late for Germany and Merkel knows that. After all, being a “progressive” leftist and a Socialist, she has a sinister agenda and part of that is contributing, in a large way, to the destruction of European culture, society and Biblical morals.

I think one thing’s pretty clear, the German populace isn’t gobsmacked by this failed policy and the subsequent issues that it’s caused. It’s no wonder that Merkel’s personal approval ratings have plunged and her party fallen to its lowest level in the polls since 2012 in the wake of this “progressive” policy. But the cold, hard truth of the matter is that the damage is already done.

I think this is a very important lesson for other countries in the West who are bringing Muslim refugees in at smaller quantities or at the least, considering bringing them in. My advice is: don’t do it, because you’ll end up with terrible results similar to this and it will be too late to reverse the situation. There’s no turning back. This is the surefire recipe of losing your country. Let’s take this as a warning and do our utmost to not go down that path of doom.

Most of you have seen or heard the news of an explosive device going off in Manhattan Saturday and another one in Seaside Park, New Jersey, earlier in the day. The perpetrator, Ahmad Rahami, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen of Afghan descent was arrested after an intense shootout with law enforcement officers. Thankfully, no one has died in either attacks or as a result of their injuries at this point in time

According to CNN, Rahami declared that “the sounds of bombs will be heard in the streets” and praised “Brother Osama bin Laden” in a journal found on him when he was arrested.

To think that someone would have the idea to perpetrate such a horrible act upon innocent Americans is beyond comprehension. We’re talking about pressure cookers or capped metal pipes filled with nails and twisted bits of metal set to detonate via a mobile phone and designed to claim the lives of innocent men, women and children or at the very least severely maim them. But when you think about it, it’s really no surprise. Islam’s main goal is causing the “infidels” to submit, and they accomplish this through violence, death and destruction (which you’ll find spread throughout the Quran). This is what they do in obedience to Allah, and they will carry it out to the best of their ability in the hope of claiming a spot in paradise and 72 virgins.

Just because law enforcement agencies captured Rahami and others like him doesn’t mean America is safe, nor is the rest of the Western world. Only a couple of weeks before, a failed car bomb attempt in Paris made the headlines.

Of course, authorities state these latest acts of terror are “lone wolf” attacks. In other words they’re basically downplaying them by saying that these bombers run around doing their dirty deeds because they’re mentally ill but have no real connection to Islam or an Islamic terror cell. The fact is that Islam is all about “lone wolf attacks”; that’s part of their strategy. These jihadists are trained in groups, organized into cells and sent out as single-man assault teams. This is the way they operate, and the sooner we understand that the better.

Every time a bomb goes off, gunshots are fired and blood is shed in the name of Allah, it’s a chilling reminder of the very real threat Islam is to our freedom and our way of life. We cannot forget, nor can we be complacent. This is not about paranoia; it’s about our safety, those of our loved ones and our communities. We have to take this threat seriously. Our governments might not, but that doesn’t mean we have to fall into the trap called apathy.

So what am I suggesting? Here are six critical tips:

1. Be aware of your surroundings. Acts of terror usually occur in public places where people are gather en masse. If you must go to a place such as a shopping mall, do it in “off-peak” times such as late in the afternoon. There’s less chance of a terror attack occurring when there are fewer people present. Make a mental note of emergency escape exits, evacuation plans and places where you can seek cover.

2. Keep calm and level-headed. Armed with knowledge and the ability to think quickly on your feet, you can be in control of the situation, helping others out to safety in a calm and moderated fashion. Doing so, may save the lives of fellow human beings.

3. When you hear the sounds of shooting, get down immediately. Get under a table, chair or behind some other solid item such as a desk, wall or other piece of furniture. Help others around you do the same. Immediately call your country’s emergency number. Give the exact location, the situation, the number of shooters, what sort of weapons they have, whether explosive devices are involved, a description of what they look like, what they’re wearing and the number of people dead or wounded.

If trapped in a room, immediately lock and barricade the door, turn the lights off, turn your phone or other mobile devices OFF, get down low behind a solid object such as furniture, and stay still and quiet.

If trapped out in the open, if possible, make a run for it, but do so with your head down low and run in a diagonal zig-zag pattern. Running in an angle away from the shooter will make it hard for him to shoot you as moving targets are always harder to hit. Doing so may increase your chances of survival, but don’t count on it as the shooter could be highly trained and may be able to take down moving targets easily – you just don’t know.

4. If someone decides to do the heroic deed and take the gunman down, assist him/her with getting the job done as quickly as possible. Get others to help and work as a team. You can get creative with taking the gunman down as the element of surprise may be on your side. Weapon malfunctions are the perfect opportunity to strike back. Items such as fire extinguishers, chairs, brooms and other objects may be used to knock out, trip, injure or severely incapacitate the gunman, or else you may create a diversion allowing other people to ambush the attacker and take him down.

5. If bombs are involved, take cover under a desk or chair or some other solid object to shield you from flying debris and shrapnel. Stay away from anything that may fall or implode on you (e.g. windows, items stored on top of furniture etc). Keep in mind that terrorists often finish off victims by raking the area with automatic gunfire, so stay down. There may also be further bombs in the immediate vicinity, so stay where you are and wait for the “all clear” from law enforcement officers.

6. Carry a “go bag” and pocket everyday carry kit (EDC) with you at all times. This should include basic survival equipment such as a mini survival kit, first aid kit, lighter, torch, folding knife, tactical pen, multitool, maps, emergency food and water and a PPE kit (N95 mask, tight fitting glasses or goggles, leather gloves and earplugs).

This information is by no means comprehensive, but it gives you some basic lifesaving tips to survive an act of terror.

I sincerely hope you never ever hear the blood-curdling cry of “Allahu Akbar” accompanied by an explosion, gunshots or the sickening sounds of stabbing.

Thankfully, no lives were lost as a result of these recent New York and New Jersey terror attacks. Next time we might not be as fortunate.

I’m sure most of you would’ve heard about Black Lives Matter, otherwise known as BLM, by now. They’re basically a group of black people who think that somehow white people are more privileged than them and that they’re receiving unequal heavy handed treatment by the law. BLM apparently labels those who say “all lives matter” as “rascist”. What BLM is doing is actually causing more hurt to themselves in the long run. They’re basically doing the exact opposite of what Martin Luther King Jr. did by pleading for all Americans to come together principled and united and sort out their differences and grievances.

When we look at Martin Luther King’s track record we will find that he did not loot, burn, attack or kill anyone to achieve justice and freedom for black people, who, during his time were a lot more discriminated against than today. This powerful quote of King Jr’s rocked the world many times over and still applies to us all today if only we would take his words to heart:

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar,
but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you may murder the hater,
but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate.
So it goes.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

On the other hand we have BLM and it’s rowdy, lawless lynch mob who think it’s perfectly ok to loot, burn, stab, attack and kill in order to get justice for themselves. Martin Luther King Jr changed the world through his speeches and his constructive actions, not through violence and hate.

King Jr’s approach is in stark contrast to that of one BLM leader’s vitriolic rant who at a BLM protest in Portland implored others to shoot cops and run them over.

If they go about their burden of whatever they said you’re doing, you pull your pistol out and you ******* bust that

BLM is funded by white elite billionaires such as George Soros and it’s not out of the goodness of their heart that these tycoons are doing this to alleviate the misery of black people. What they want to do is enslave the black people using the BLM and cause the cycle of poverty, resentment, hatred and violence to continue. They accomplish this by causing division, civil unrest and tough employment and education conditions. These elites want to keep the blacks in the ghettos dependent on government welfare programs.

The mainstream media and their Black Lives Matter propagandists on social media are trying to convince everyone that cops are deliberately “hunting” black people and that there is an “institutional white supremacy” problem in law enforcement. Well wait, I wonder what they have to say about the latest killing of black man Keith Lamont Scott by a black cop?? I fail to see any connection with racism here and I’m sure anyone with their thinking caps turned on will see it that way as well.

There’s an ignorance and crime problem in America, largely in black communities, it’s not being racist, it’s just a simple fact.

A Breitbart report on “5 Devastating Facts About Black-on-Black Crime” states: Despite the media’s overindulgence on white cops killing blacks, there is still a far-larger amount of black bodies being sent to morgues by black killers. Here’s five devastating facts, liberals can’t deny, that prove it.

FACT 1. Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.

According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968, according to the Tuskegee Institute.

In other words: black people–at just a fifth of the size–committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts.

The figures above highlight a horrific truth that black racialists and white liberals routinely ignore: Lawbreaking black Americans, young black males particularly, put themselves in close proximity to (mostly white male) police officers at rates sometimes five to 10 times higher than whites. This is a recipe for disaster. Thusly….

FACT 3. Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years.

In 2013, black criminals committed 38% of the murders. Whites accounted for just 31 percent.

There are five times fewer black people than white people in America and, yet, they consistently carry out a larger share of the crimes? Given this rate, it’s no wonder that there aren’t more assistances where cops kill black criminals.

FACT 4. Chicago’s death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

There have been almost as many deaths in one American city as there have been in the two major wars carried out by the U.S. military this century.

FACT 5. It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone.

University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime datafrom the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control and found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period.

Police brutality, which has spiralled to unacceptable levels in the US, affects white people as well as black people so really they’re both in the same boat. In fact, if we look at the statistics for officer involved shootings in the United States for 2016 we will find that almost TWICE more white people have been killed by cops than black people. According to the Washington Post, 324 white people (46%) were killed whilst 173 black people (24%) killed.

The simple truth of the matter is that all lives matter. Black Lives Matter. White Lives Matter. Police Lives Matter. Why? Because every single person on this planet is made in the image of a personal-infinite God and thus has a unique dignity of life as human beings. Every person on this planet is important to God because He made you, He made me, He made us all! When we look at life from that point of view then we will recognise the sanctity of human life, the worth of every person and begin to respect each other regardless of our race, colour, class or creed.

America, it’s time to end the hatred, violence, injustice, pride and resentment and come together united and sort out your problems humbly and peacefully.

Another black man shot dead by police. Another mob of angry rioters. It’s happening all over again. It seems as though not a day passes by without hearing about something terrible going down in the USA. I guess you could say violence and death have become the new normal. It was only less than two months ago that 6 law enforcement officers were shot – three fatally – in Baton Rouge, Louisiana after the officer-involved killing of Alton Sterling on the 5th of July. It seems as though every time an African-American gets shot by a cop that we can expect to see a riot happening within days of the incident occurring.

As I write this, news reports are rolling in of the terrible chaos going on right now in Charlotte, NC which comes in the wake of the shooting death on Tuesday of Keith Lamont Scott, 43, who police say was armed and ignored commands to drop his weapon. Scott’s family says the father of seven had a book in his hand. Apparently Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney, at a news conference Wednesday, rejected claims Scott was holding a book and not a gun, and said detectives had recovered the gun.

According to USA Today, a civilian involved in the protests was shot Wednesday night in a civilian on civilian exchange of fire and is now on life support. At this stage 16 police officers have been injured by protestors throwing rocks and other objects. Protestors even attempted to throw a news photographer into a burning fire on Wednesday night.

In addition to all of this mayhem, one group of protestors thought it was a really smart idea to use the riots as an opportunity to loot a Wal-Mart store, stealing expensive technology items such as a flat screen TV and iPads. Meanwhile others hurled “rocks, bottles and traffic cones off interstate overpasses” onto innocent motorists down below causing injuries and damage.

This latest spate of violence has prompted NC Gov. Pat McCrory to declare a state of emergency (martial law) and begin the process toward deploying the National Guard and the state Highway Patrol to assist local police, the governor said via Twitter.

Those of us who have woken up to the sorry state of America and the rest of this planet will ask “What’s going on with America?”, “Why all this constant violence and bloodshed going on?” Why, why, why and a thousand other questions.

To the principled person, this kind of behaviour is totally mindless and senseless. Why is it that people think the death of black man justifies throwing rocks at police officers and innocent motorists? Why is it that they think it is right to break into a Wal-Mart and steal goods? None of these terrible acts can bring justice for Kevin Lamont Scott.

There’s always going to be these messed up people who think it’s smart to use chaos as an opportunity to take advantage of others and this is yet another perfect example.

Law and order has simply broken down and this is a symptom of a bigger problem, the extremely serious moral crisis that America faces. Beyond the shadow of a doubt police brutality in America has certainly spiraled way out of control big time but as with every problem, there’s a root cause behind it and that problem is found within people’s hearts. It’s called sin and it’s the driving force behind why people commit acts of murder, violence, destruction and utter depravity.

Moral decay comes as a direct result of parents failing to train their children in the fear of the Lord, it comes as a result of senior cops failing to teach their officers to defuse situations peacefully instead of pulling out their guns and tazers on everyone and everything and abusing their power. It comes as a result of hatred and discrimination against black people. It comes as a result of humanistic education in our public schools and universities which produces kids who lack basic literacy, problem solving skills, the ability to think and causes them to be so confused about their genders. It comes as a result of failing to recognise the sanctity of human life. It comes down to a lack of respect for people despite their age, position, race, colour and creed. And the list goes on and on!

America is very literally falling apart at the seams right before our eyes and it’s only going to get much worse. This is what happens to a society that thinks it’s a smart idea to totally reject God and His laws that are in place for the good of all humanity. Without God, everything is meaningless and will inevitably result in failure. Rioting, looting, shooting, fighting and killing people simply will not solve anything – they’ll only exacerbate the problem further. What America and the rest of this world needs is humble repentance and revival. We need to return to God as the source of our everything and only then will we understand and experience true love, peace, harmony and tranquility for all. Is it too late for America yet? I don’t know. Only God knows. But what I do know is that God is not mocked and we will reap what we sow. That is a solemn reminder for each of us because change starts at an individual level. It starts with you and me!

I am writing to ask you to oppose any pushes for so-called same-sex marriage to be legalised in Australia. As I’m sure you would know, true marriage in the traditional sense is between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others. This is defined by the Holy Bible (which was instrumental in our nation’s founding, the place where we get our moral code from and certainly something that our legal system was based upon) and has been so for the last millennia. It is not a matter for the government to meddle with. It is certainly not a matter for society to meddle with or attempt to change in any way. I also ask you to oppose any attempts from the LGBTIQ community to make abhorrent “same-sex marriage” normalised through news mediums. As you would also know, homosexuality is a very serious and abominable sin. Same sex marriage is a complete mockery of true, normal marriage. Homosexuality is abnormal contrary to them wanting us to see them as normal. Fifty years ago, homosexuality was looked down upon as engaging in such activity was considered shameful.

Research has shown that children do best in families where traditional marriage exists (i.e. male and female). Two homosexuals can never offer the same love and care to children.

Redefining marriage will open it up to a wide array of other configurations such as polygamy, beastiality and who knows what else. I am a young person, and I for one would not like to live in a society where unisex toilets exist. This would make toilet facilities 100 times worse than they already are especially for females.

Once again, I ask you to resist any pressure to redefine marriage in Australia and continue to affirm, time honoured, true, traditional marriage.
